For the record, as much as I would live to add this to the list of crimes Bud Selig needs to be punished for, it isn't his fault.
The MLBPA is possibly the most powerful union in the country. They completely control the game of baseball, and have never lost a dispute with the owners, even when they need to, like on this issue.
They do not care about the players' health, or the integrity of the game they profess to love. They only care about beating the owners, even at the expense of their livelihood.
